4 Only few weeks more and we will have
forgotten snow and ice and cold. Birds
will sing in budding trees and the May
flowers will awaken from their fragrant
repose and lift starry faces to the blue sky,
TO be courted and robbed of their sweets by
butterflies as brilliant as themselves. Even
now the milliner proclaims the advent OF
the poetic season. and her windows are
filled with limitations of flora's treasures.
good. bad and Indifferent. An amazing
number OF orders for new hats and bonnetS
has made known TO the maker OF female
headgear the near approach of Easter.
Day and night the milliner and her assist
ants will work during the coming week,
and the wrath of the lady whose Easter
bonnet is not ready next Saturday evening
will not be lessened by the fact that ire
mendous efforts have been put forth to
make it.
With the birds will return those wander
ing MinneapolitanS who fled from BorealiS
10 seek more congenial winter quarters.
During all the long days Of absence, midst
scenes of beauty and new found friends.
they have longed for the warm days that
make their home the most perfect summer
residence in the United States. Wandering
haling the fragrance of the golden states
sweet orange blossoms, seeking health in
the boiling waters of Arkansas hills, wher-
ever the resident of the Flour City has
wintered. he has found nothing to lessen
his devotion to home, and he will return
with q new appreciation of the mvigorating
air and the blessed sunshine and the blue
skies which have no counterpart in Amer
lea.
The week past has offered but little pleas
ure to the young man and woman who de-
pend Oh society for their happiness Dane.
ing parties were given by the Faust club
and the Young Peoples circle. The print
ers have every reason to be proud OF the
success that has attended their series OF
dances. They have always brought together
congenial company, and invitations have
been so judiciously placed as to secure
the presence of none but the best people.
They have had, without exception, very
jolly times, and the first year of the Faust
club will be remembered very kindly by all
who have been so fortunate as to enjoy its
hospitality. The Unitarian young folks
had a delightfully."- informal party
at Curtiss' hall Friday evening.
They have discovered. happily, that
it is possible to indulge innocently IN an
amusement which the more unfortunate
members of other churches are taught to
condemn; the discovery and the indulgence
does not lessen their devotion to things that
are holy, nor their brotherly kindness to
their fellow creatures, and it does add much
to the happiness of days that in old age will
be lived over again.

Of course everybody went to see the BoS-
ton Ideals3and, despite the carping criti-
cism of certain critics, almost everybody en-
joyed them as of yOre. The audience made
good use of the time between the acts in
discussing the various wars and rumOrs OF
wars that have assailed their favorite oper-
attic company, but when the curtain was up
I they quite forgot that such thing AS an
unpleasantness had been mentioned. Who
would suppose, as has been whispered. that
I the humorous Barnabee and tine Spirited La
| Blanche had been having ''wow and a
wumpus' during the week? And yet such
a thing is whispered, and it is even said
that Off the stage the venerable joker whistles
I'VE Never Speak As We Pass By when
ever the contlalto is seen by him.

There is one question which the past
week has settled beyond all dispute. and
that is the position occupied by Mile de
Lussan in the estimation of Minneapolis
people. The most carping critic has been
forced to admit that she has made marked
improvement both in voice and person since
last she sang here. And those biased Min
neapolitans who have steeled their hearts
against her many charms have been to a
man conquered by her grace and her sing
ing. AS Marie she was certainly cap
tiyating, and her notes will ring in ears
that they had never pleased before until the
